Recommendation 17
17
Deferred
Set clear guidelines for ending new fossil fuel heating system installations
Recommendation
We are concerned that the Government has not set clear guidelines for the end of the installation of new fossil fuel heating systems on and off the gas grid. Without certainty, consumers, manufacturers and the wider supply chain lack the confidence that they need to make informed decisions. The Government should consider the lessons that can be applied from announcing the end of the sale of new internal combustion engine vehicles in encouraging the uptake and increasing market share for low carbon heating technologies. (Conclusion, Paragraph 116)
Government Response Summary
The government is focused on incentivising moves to cleaner heating through the Warm Homes Plan, having already announced measures, with more detail on specific guidelines for phasing out fossil fuel heating to be set out later this year.
